The Cracker Barrel Old Country Store has announced its newest addition to the brand – a tiny “New York City-sized” Cracker Barrel store, which will open as part of the chain restaurant’s debut in the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

To amp up the nostalgia – and country-feel – the restaurant chain shared that the tiny house will feature reclaimed wood from the very first Cracker Barrel store, which opened in Lebanon, Tenn., on Sept. 19, 1969.

The 269-square-foot “Tiny Home Away from Home” will head to the streets of New York City, where there are no Cracker Barrel locations, the day before the annual parade to welcome residents and tourists with “old country charm and genuine hospitality that has drawn guests to Cracker Barrel for 50 years.”
